Director Gregory Jacobs has said that the sequel will be different from the first film, saying, “It’s a road trip movie, and put it this way: It’s different enough that once you see it you’ll understand why we made a sequel… No one will be accusing us of making the same movie twice.”

I should note that there is the Michael Jai White/Tyson Beckford/Jean-Claude LaMarre drama “Chocolate City,” an upcoming film that will take viewers into the world of male strippers, who also happen to be black.

The first “Magic Mike” was was a hit, earning $113 million in domestic box office; a Broadway musical based on the movie is in the works.
